Civil Engineering
Civil engineering is the original of the engineering disciplines.
With the increase in population, the growing complexity of
industries, and changing urban centers, the civil engineer’s
task-applying science to the control and utilization of
the environment for the total benefit of mankind-represents
a challenge unsurpassed in all of engineering.
The civil engineer often is confronted with conditions so
variable and complex that they cannot be precisely defined
by science and mathematics. Therefore, a knowledge of
the arts and social sciences, as well as the physical sciences,
is essential. In addition, because civil engineering requires
overall planning of very large projects whose components
involve many other disciplines, it is also necessary to have
knowledge of management techniques. The goal of the civil
engineering degree program is to provide an education
that enables graduates to make far-reaching decisions that
draw not only from technical knowledge but also from
integrity and judgment.
In the professional courses, classroom lectures are supplemented
by laboratory practice, including the study of materials,
concrete, hydraulics, environmental engineering, geotechnical
engineering, and surveying. The principal functional areas
that are considered subdivisions of civil engineering are structural
engineering, transportation engineering, geotechnical
engineering, environmental engineering, water resources
engineering, and construction management,
The Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering

Civil and Architectural Engineering
subdisciplines of civil engineering and provides professional
specializations in the areas of structural, geotechnical, transportation,
civil-environmental, construction engineering
and architectural engineering. The department also offers
graduate degree programs and conducts research in the areas
of structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, transportation
engineering, and construction engineering and
management. In addition, the department provides undergraduate
service courses to the College of Architecture
in the area of structural engineering and through minors
in construction management and fire protection and
safety engineering.
Students may choose a professional specialization as described
on the following pages, or one of the following minors: Air
Force Aerospace Studies, Military Science, Naval Science,
and Fire Protection and Safety Engineering (see page 104).
Architecture students who plan to pursue a master’s degree
in structural engineering should take CAE 303, 304, 307,
310, 431 and 432 in place of CAE 287, 351 and 352. Consult
the IIT Bulletin: Graduate Programs for additional details.
All civil engineering students are expected to take the Fundamentals
of Engineering (FE) examination during their senior
year. The examination is offered by the State of Illinois in
October and April. Please contact the Department of Civil
and Architectural Engineering for information concerning
this examination,
